Introduction of the English Language In.

lions.
1t is admitted that the representa-
tives of England in foreign courts ought
to know not only French, but Spanish.
German, Italian, and, If possible, the
Oriental languages as well. But it is
urged that the Foreign Secretary need
not know any other language than En-
glish. If this were so he would be
absolutely without means of direct COM
munication with the representatives of
foreign countries here, and would be at
the mercy of secretaries and chief
clerks. Diplomacy is a social art as
well as matter of business. Inter-
national relations require an interna-
tional tongue. In the days which fol-
lowed the revival of learning, Latin, as
the language of the church, the profess
sions and the men of science and letters
in every country, was the natural me-
dunn of communication. 1t is now used
only. in the state papers of the Pope.
Henry VIII. and Elizabeth and James,
and the statesmen of their time, were
able to converse in it. The ascendency
of Spain led TO the not infrequent en-
ployment of the Castilian tongue.
When Louis XIV. made France the
dominant power in Europe, and nearly
every war and treaty was, in one as
pect or another, a French war and
treaty, the French language naturally
came into the general use which it has
retained. The choice was made by a
process of natural selection. French
had been polished into an instrument
of almost perfect sharpness and pre-
cision for the purpose of exact state
ment and facile intercourse. But with
the decline of the French monarchy,
the monarchy of the French tongue is
challenged. Lord Greenville, in
his reply to the overtures for
peace which the first consul adj
dressed to George Ill, was, with the ac-
cidental exception already referred to,
the first to introduce the English Ian
guage into correspondence with a for,
eign nation. Mr.. Canning, who was
enormously credited with the author.
ship of the dispatch, defended the limo
walton on the ground that, though il
might be proper to employ the French
language in correspondence about the
affairs of another State, yet manifesto
as to the policy of England ought to be
in English. There is an early precedent
for this proper national self-assertion in
the case of Sir Richard Fanshaw, who,
being sent ambassador to Spain, on hi;
first audience delivered his message in
English. having first procured his Cath.
ole Majesty to be prepared to accept it
and spoke Spanish only in paying his
respects to the Queen. "-Sdturday Re

As illustrating that the third patty
Prohibitionists are a Democratic aid
party, the Boston Traveller says:
"rhe Prohibitionists, in their plat
form and speeches, denounce the Re-
publican party which enacts all the
the temperance laws in the North
ern States.
They earn praise and encouraging
words from the newspaper organs of
the saloons that recognize them as
allies, an have only condemnation
for Republicans.
They run separate tickets which
help the Democrats to carry elections
when they know that by doing so
proposed temperance legislation will
be defeated.
They falsely charge the defeats Of
such temperance legislation upon the
Republican party, when they know
that the measures failed because of
the aid they have themselves given
the Democrats.
And this statement is as true of
that party in Michigan as in Massa-
chusetts.
